Pre-existing pupae in the environment may continue to emerge for six (6) weeks or longer depending upon the climatic conditions.
Larval flea stages in the pet's surroundings are killed following contact with an Advantage treated pet.
Advantage remains efficacious following a shampoo treatment, swimming or after exposure to rain or sunlight.
Monthly treatments are required for optimal control and prevention of fleas.
